GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Government bonds
dull, but firm.
The disposition to await the action CT
congress upon the interstate commerce
bill still keeps operators out OF the stock
market, which remains dull and almost
devoid of feature. There was some little
inclination to buy shown to-day, end for
the greater part of the time prices re-
NAMED firm to strong, although the tiuc-
tustions in great majority of cases were
confined within narrow limits. The mar
ket opened somewhat IRE gular, but gen
orally strong. Lake Shore was a con-
spicuous stock, with an advance of ! per
cent. There was q moderate business
in the first few minutes, in which
Jersey Central and West Point
were conspicuous. Prices were
strong, especially for Jersey Central
aud Peoria, Decatur and Evansville. The
activity died away, but the advances in
prices continued dntil noon. The dull.
ness was then intensified and prices
Jagged off slowly until the close, which
was dull and heavy, generally small frac-
lions above the opening. The general
list is higher this evening, with very few
exceptions, chief among which are Cam
eron coal, which lost Ii, and Richmond
and West Point. Jersey Central is up
Ii, Peoria, Decatur and Evansville IL,
Lake Shore per cent.
Railroad bonds moderately active
Prices generally followed the course OF
the share market, being firm in the fore
noon and tagging off toward the close.
The final prices are generally higher.
